decemberthirtySince -The Telling- wasn't really the phenomenal book that I had hoped it would be, I've decided to reread what I consider to be Ursula K. LeGuin's absolute best work. I'm a big fan of rereading, and I tend to reread her Earthsea series almost every year. (And I have since I was in eighth grade-scary!) I can't think of any other books that can even compare to this series in terms of being moving, thought-provoking, and beautiful. The four books are -A Wizard of Earthsea-, -The Tombs of Atuan-, -The Farthest Shore-, and -Tehanu-. I don't care if you are someone who is diametrically opposed to science fiction and fantasy, you should read these books regardless. They are beautiful, and that's about all I have to say.

There's a good series by Geraldine Harris called -Seven Citidels-, of which the four individual books are called -The Prince of the Godborn-, -The Children of the Wind-, -The Dead Kingdom-, and -The Seventh Gate-. I have also heard excellent things about Phillip Pullman's -His Dark Materials- trilogy (-The Golden Compass-, -The Subtle Knife-, and -The Amber Spyglass-). I haven't read that series, but I have read other things by Pullman, which have been excellent, and my little sister liked it alot. And my girlfriend loves anything and everything by Edgar Eager, so I'm sure she'd recommend that you check out -Half Magic-, and the rest of that series....
Hope some of that is helpful.
